36 Weeks

Good news from the doctor today! After checking Brooks out on the ultrasound they estimated that he is about 6lbs, 7 oz right now. For the remaining weeks he will be putting on about 1/2 lb every week; therefore, making Brooks about 8lbs 7oz- if I make it 40 weeks! They did mention that this is give or take 1 lb on each side. So we are looking at Brooks weighing anywhere from 7.5lbs to 9.5lbs.
We are having a healthy baby :)

The ultrasound also showed that Brooks is head down and in the fetal position. He is getting ready to join our family! After seeing Brooks again, I think he is going to look like his daddy. Although he was sucking on his hand during the entire ultrasound, we were able to get a look at his profile and he looked a lot like Jeff!

Next week our dr will begin checking to see if I have dilated any, as well as hooking me up to a fetal monitor for about 20 minutes to check on the baby to make sure everything is how it should be each week.

4 more weeks............
